Safety Message to Installers of  Warning Light Equipment

People’s lives depend on your proper installation and servicing of Federal Signal products. It is important to 

read and follow all instructions shipped with this product and the original product. In addition, listed below 

are some other important safety instructions and precautions you should follow:
•   To properly install the lighting system, you must have a good understanding of automotive systems, 

along with proficiency in the installation and use of safety warning equipment. 

•   Do not install equipment or route wiring in the deployment path of an airbag.
•   If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify with the vehicle manufacturer if the seat needs to be 

recalibrated for proper airbag deployment.

•   Locate light control so the VEHICLE and CONTROL can be operated safely under all driving 

conditions.

•   You should frequently inspect the light system to ensure that it is operating properly and that it is 

securely attached to the vehicle.

•   When drilling into a vehicle structure, be sure that both sides of the surface are clear of anything that 

could be damaged.

•   In order for the light to function properly, a separate ground connection must be made. If practical, it 

should be connected to the negative battery terminal. At a minimum, it may be attached to a solid metal 

body or chassis part that will provide an effective ground path as long as the light system is to be used.

•   Refer to the instructions packed with related products for additional precautions and information.
•   File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them when maintaining and/or reinstalling the product. 
•   Do not stare directly into the lights at a close range or permanent damage to your eyesight may occur.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

Product Overview

Federal Signal has combined the superior light output of a rotator with the advantages of LEDs to create the 

first true LED beacon in the marketplace, the IVP SLR. 
Featuring the patented Solaris LED Rotator, the IVP SLR creates a burst of illumination with the benefits of 

a rotator to create a sweep of light unmatched by flashing lights.
The IVP VSLR is available in two styles that compliment Federal Signal’s Vision SLR lightbars. The VSLR1 

features red or amber LEDs and may be used as part of an NFPA lighting package. The VSLR1-IPX-RA is 

NFPA compliant and features a red LED rotator and an Impaxx Model IPX600 light in an attractive housing.
Driver-side (VSLR1D) and passenger-side (VSLR1P) oscillating models are also available. They are 

designed to be mounted on the rear of a fire apparatus. When oscillating, the lights emit light in the areas 

shown in Figure 1 on page 2.
